Rest in Peace Hazel....

Today we received word that Craig's grandmother, Hazel passed away after a courageous battle with cancer. She was a dear, sweet, loving lady that always had a smile on her face no matter what was troubling her. We will miss her dearly and her memory will live on in us forever!
The above Picture:
This is one of my most treasured moments from the last time we saw Hazel. We were taking a group picture and she wouldn't look at the camera. She just kept looking and smiling at Micah. Brings tears to my eyes........... I said to her "Hazel, you have to look at the camera!" She said, "I can't I just love him so much!" We had such a great final day, I am so grateful for that! It was a picture perfect day that unfortunately we will not be able to duplicate here on earth, but I cherish the day I get to see her again at the gates of heaven. She will definitely be one of the first people I see, she is feisty enough to push her way to the front and I look forward to her great embrace!
Thankfully, Hazel is resting peacefully in God arms. There is no greater place. Rest in peace my dearest Hazel. We love you and you will be greatly missed. I was truly blessed to have you as grandmother through the years and I am forever humbled by your strength. God Speed.
